Lens replacement

I've seen lots of discussion about LASIK but not much about lens replacement.
I'm +2.5 for distance and a further plus 1 for reading and have worn specs and/or c/lenses for 35 years. LASIK bothers me because of the scarring/glare risk (and the 3 month flying suspension) so I'm wondering whether lens replacement (CLE) is a better answer. Presumably there's no or limited accommodation so a plastic lens would only fix the distance problem and I'd still need reading specs - is that true for both CLE and LASIK?
Any practical experiences out there?
